Abstract

The development of sports infrastructure is of great importance and can help improve the health of society, create job opportunities and influence the realization of sustainable development. One of the important sources of financing infrastructure development is the use of the capacity of donors and private sector investors. The purpose of this research is to identify the consequences of using the capacity of donors in the development of sports infrastructure in the country. This research was conducted in a qualitative manner and qualitative content analysis method was used to analyze the data using thematic analysis technique, which is exploratory in nature. The statistical community in this research was made up of all sports specialists and managers and those who were active in the field of sports donors. Sampling was done in a purposeful and snowball manner, which reached theoretical saturation with 22 interviews. In order to collect information, a semi-structured interview was used, which was conducted as a direct communication and as a telephone call. Acceptability, transferability, confirmability and retest were used to measure validity and reliability. From the data analysis, 49 open codes were extracted, which were placed in 9 sub-themes. Finally, the sub-themes were categorized into four main themes including economic development, social development, health development and sports development. The present findings indicate the importance of using the capacity of donors in sports organizations and are a good guide for future sports donors to organize their contributions in a way that has the highest efficiency.
